The Colletta Nursery School welcomes girls and boys between 3 and 6 years old divided into 7 sections spread over two floors.

Each section is made up of a maximum of 25 girls and boys and has two reference educators.
In our school the sections are "heterogeneous", that is, made up of girls and boys aged 3, 4 and 5.
Each section has its own dedicated space.
In addition to the sections, girls and boys have access to various educational experiences in the common areas of the service: the lounge used for motor play and drama, the laboratory for playing with company waste and recycled materials, the library/reading space, the garden , the scientific/multimedia laboratory, the space of creativity and manual skills.

The educational college, coordinated by the Manager, is responsible for the planning and implementation of the educational paths promoted during the year. In the presence of girls or boys with disabilities, the presence of educational support staff is expected.

The auxiliary staff ensures the care and cleaning of the school spaces.

Lunch is provided by Milano Ristorazione which manages its transport and daily delivery.

The section is the privileged place of emotional and relational reference in which girls and boys acquire safety and develop autonomy. It is designed for and with children and is divided into specific and diversified spaces where girls and boys play, discover and experiment together with their peers, teachers and educators.
Our 7 sections are called Yellow, Blue, Pink, Turquoise, Green, Lilac, Red.
Each section directly overlooks a common corridor, set up with tables and play corners.
